The European versions of the games starting from Budokai have had 5 language options (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish), some of them with all their own dub-isms, some of them simply translating the English script. Ever since Raging Blast, the US/NTSC versions also included Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles (which in Xenoverse, the Brazilian subs had some Euro Portuguese dub-isms like "Tartaruga Genial" in there).Zephyr wrote:I am curious. In spite of all of the different language dubs, how many have their own language option in the video games? Because if there's largely only English and Japanese voices/names in the video games, then that greatly stacks the degree to which certain non-original naming conventions permeate the fandom over others. If this is not the case, then the position of "there are so many different languages that the Japanese version has been adapted into, thus they're all equal in how ingrained into the collective fandom they are" holds a lot more weight.

Ah, very interesting. I guess I fall somewhere between Adamant and Gyt, then. On one hand, other languages definitely then had their dubisms reinforced via tertiary material. On the other hand, though, from what you described, it sounds like a less thorough reinforcement of dubisms compared to that of the FUNi dubisms.

Re: No more word filter!
Any reason why the word filters was remove? It made it easier for me to write the correct names for characters or attacks if I don't remember them off hand.

I see the forum itself hasn't entirely imploded from their removal after all, so huzzah for that.
